OK, after being busy and having to figure out how to resize these images to where they will post here, I have the slant in the 2004 RX8 with a 2 3/16 plywood adapter and the new motor mounts on the RX8 front subframe and the Miata hydraulic rack installed.

Just to re-state the "Why". I was inspired by Uncle Tony on Youtube with his Miata slant swap. My goal is to have a unique car to take to the local shows. I want the swap to be extra clean so that most people would not realize the engine did not come in the car. I want airbags, electric windows, AC, etc.

I have ordered a Gill Welding EFI intake that I will be using with a Haltech ECU along with a Subaru 60mm throttle body and all modern electronics.

Eventually I will pull the engine back out and build a long rod, 2.2 turbo piston, mild smooth idling engine. No racing. I have read hundreds of posts here and greatly appreciate all of the wisdom here.

It will likely be another year before the car is running.

Cool. Welcome back and congrats on the progress. Looking forward to seeing this creation on the road...

Lou
